Reduced singular homology #

Reduced singular homology is the kernel of the augmentation in degree zero and ordinary singular homology in positive degrees. The inclusion into ordinary homology is natural and reduced homology is homotopy invariant. A chosen point splits zeroth homology as reduced homology plus the coefficient object; the splitting commutes with maps preserving that point.

Coefficients lie in a preadditive category with coproducts, homology and kernels. The splitting isomorphism additionally uses binary biproducts. No connectedness assumption is needed for the splitting; for a path-connected space the reduced homology object in degree zero vanishes, and for the empty space reduced homology vanishes in every degree.

In degree zero, a chosen point identifies reduced homology with the coproduct of copies of the coefficient object indexed by the path components other than that of the point (TauCeti.reducedSingularHomology₀Iso); the generator at the component of y is the class [y] - [x]. This is the kernel of the codiagonal of Mathlib's TopCat.singularHomology₀Iso.

This follows Hatcher, Algebraic Topology, Section 2.1, using Mathlib's singular homology and augmentation and ShortComplex.Splitting.isoBinaryBiproduct.

Mathlib's identification of zeroth homology with the coproduct over path components sends the class of a point to the coproduct inclusion indexed by its path component.

    A homotopy equivalence induces an isomorphism on reduced singular homology in every degree, with inverse induced by the homotopy inverse.

    Instances For

      Reduced homology in degree zero is free on the path components other than that of a basepoint. A point x identifies the reduced zeroth singular homology of X with the coproduct of copies of R indexed by the path components of X different from that of x. The generator at the component of y corresponds to the class [y] - [x] (TauCeti.ι_reducedSingularHomology₀Iso_inv_ι).
